EIGHTEEN FLIERS ALREADY ENTERED More May B¢ Included in " Hawaiian Prize Plight —_— 8an Francisco, Aug. 3 M—The die was cast today for the first trans- oceanic airplane race in history with fourteen official and four unoficial entries for the James D. Dole $35,- 000 prizes for the first and second aviators to fly from the North American continent to Honolulu starting after noon, August 12. The official list of entries was left incomplete when the hour for its closing—midnight last night— arrived. The committee in charge of the arrangements announced that all entries postmarked before that hour would be accepted when received. A wide assortment of aviators, navigators and aviation enthusiasts make up the list which will center in the 2,400-mile dash across half of the Pacific ocean. Twe women Were among the official entries— Mrs. William P. Erwin, wife of the Dallas, Tex., entrant, and Miss Mil- dred Doran, Flint, Mich, school teacher who will make the trip with John Augie Pedlar, the Flint entry. Several army and navy aviators will ‘participate. The San Francisco Bay region will be the starting point for nearly all the fliers, The sole exception, to date, is Major C. O. Osborne, Can- ada’s only entry, who has stated that he will take off from Vancou- ver, B. C. It is figured that those who start from either Mills Field, The San Francisco Alrport, or Bayfarm Island, Oakland's Alrport, will have more than a 100 miles ad- vantage over any who take off from any other part of the mainland. Mrs. Erwin is an experienced pilot and will alternate with her husband at the control stick of their plane. The Erwin family plans to make the Honolulu hop the first in their flight to Hongkong, in quest of the $25,00 prize offered by William B.| Easterwood of Dallas, for a flight from Dallag to Hongkong.

The answer is—nothing. Talk of reprisals against Rickard during the coming winter indoor season is idle because the commis- sion couldn’t do anything to him. |Rickard, according to the commis- sion, prothised to stage the cham- plonship bout in New York if the commission would.permit him to charge $27.50 for the Dempsey-Shar- key fight. Rickard denies this. Even if Rickard did make the promise his “crime is the violation of a verbal promise to do something that-the commission has no authority to exact and it is not a violation of the law or any rule. It is to be doubted seriously, how- ever, that the commission wants to The secres tary of state and the commission under whose supervision it acts, are in the clear politically and politics counts just as much in the New York game as the interests of the customers. In the event that the “tax payer” attempts to hold the administration to blame for the loss of revenue to the state treasury for a $2,000,000 fight or better, the secretary of state and his subsidiary commission can defend themselves with the plea that to keep the fight in New York. Did not the secretary of state rule The following is question “YES”. they did everything in their power | the questionnaire: that the commission had no legal right to fix the price for tickets? And did not the commission say that its price fixing rule might have been abrogated if Mr. Rickard had shown the commission the common cour- tesy of calling upon them for in- formation? But for Rickard’s point of view. Did not the commission run him out of New York with the first Dempsey-Tunney fight? And did not the commission notify him in a let- ter that $27.50 would be enough for the second act? The commission does not like to be referred back to the logic or lack of logic that caused it to believe that the first Dempsey-Tunney fight was not for the best interests of the rallroad men, the hotel men, the theater ticket speculators and the taxpayers. 1f there were logical reasons to kick that first fight out of New York, it is hard to find a logical reason why the second bout between | From several reliable sources of information, it is learned that the commission isn't mad at Rickard at |all and up to the present time no mass meeting of the tax payers has been held to demand that Rickard's citizenship papers be revoked and that he be deported. 21 OPERATORS LOSE LICENSE T0 DRIVE Local People Among Those Who Forfeit Right to Drive Cars During Year.

It had been pointed out that Rickard might be harassed by the commission in his attempts to make and stage matches in the Garden this winter but no state body would lock well in the role of a pouting school boy engaging in petty meth- ods of getting even.

Actors and actresses, great singers, men conspicuous in public life, radio announcers, testify that they like LUCKY STRIKE cigarettes because of their finer flavor and because they do not irritate the throat. Before such statements by laymen were pub-- lished, questions had been addressed to a num- ber of physicians in various sections of the United States—many of them leading physi- cians—and some replies had been received. ht to drive | COUNTESS SALM ISSUES DENIAL Says She Is Not Engaged to Argentinian Paris, Aug. 3 (P—Countess Salm, the former Millicent Rogers, of New York, is quoted by the Paris edition |of the New York Herald-Tribune as | denying she is engaged to Arturo Ramos, of Argentina, or that she has any plans in that direction.
